Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Ask about allergies when you send invitations

The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Common questions in Shorthampton

We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Do you come out to small places like Shorthampton?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What happens after service?

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.

Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?

Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

A hog roast compared with other options

Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Full catering or machine hire?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Working with your venue

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How the day works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late September evenings in Shorthampton lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
